I think you're referring to Sine wave speech (listen to SWS, then original, then SWS again), so I'm just gonna put the link here for you...

I understood the SWS almost every time the first try (didn't get #4).

He might also be referring to audio pareidolia (example with the NAACP).

Really? Wow! It's always weird when someone's sensory experiences are demonstrably different to your own.

Unless my ears are significantly better than yours, I think the difference is perception, not sensation. I also forgot to note that hearing the normal text made the SWS clearer, although I had typically managed to guess it.
